Enjoy an unforgettable half-day at the Fonds Blancs of François. Sail to the mythical Josephine's Bathtub and discover a shallow turquoise lagoon in the heart of Martinique. Treat yourself to a getaway departing from the fishing port of François, on the Atlantic coast of Martinique. Your excursion begins with boarding our boat in a small group. After a welcome briefing, your captain sets course for the famous islets of François. During the crossing, you discover a string of wild islets bordered by translucent waters. Your guide shares local history, legends and the highlights of this exceptional natural site. The sea gradually becomes clearer until the famous white sandbars are revealed. A first swimming stop lets you enjoy the warm, shallow water. Remember to bring your mask and snorkel: the coral seabed is home to tropical fish and small marine fauna typical of the Caribbean. Navigation then continues toward the unmissable Josephine's Bathtub, located between Ilet Oscar and Ilet Thierry. The boat drops anchor in the heart of this mythical sandbar in the open sea. You enjoy free time to swim, take photos and savor this unique paradise setting. During the stopover, drinks are offered on board in a convivial local atmosphere: ti-punch, planteur, fruit cocktails and Creole specialties depending on the chosen package. After this privileged moment, the return to the port of François takes place gently, passing one last time alongside the wild islets and turquoise waters of the Atlantic coast. Available with morning departures at 10 a.m. or 1 p.m., this half-day excursion is ideal for discovering the highlights of François while still having time for the rest of your stay in Martinique. The activity depends on weather and sea conditions. In the event of rough seas or unfavorable conditions, the excursion may be postponed or cancelled for safety reasons. Departure is from the fishing port of François. Precise information regarding the meeting point is communicated after booking. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Remember to bring your mask and snorkel if you wish to observe the seabed. In the event of cancellation of the excursion by the captain for safety reasons (bad weather, rough seas or adverse conditions), a full refund will be issued.
